Two matters can be addressed. The first involves The Brassie Grille expansion. The cabal Board seems to be moving forward on spending the Residents’ funds on this indulgent expense of expansion. I went out for dinner recently on a Wednesday, about 6 PM, and tried two popular restaurants right up the road (Hwy A1A). The first had an hour wait, and the second appeared packed too; however, a table for two opened for outdoor sitting, which we took. As I came home around 7:30 PM, I pulled into The Brassie Grille parking area. There were no cars, and The Brassie Grille was dark. What a contrast for these three restaurants, especially for this popular Easter time period. . . . and an expansion is wanted?
The Board has a ploy to secure funds, in a circular way, which was implemented with the golf irrigation well. The ploy is to have some of the cabal folks offer to pay (as lenders) for what the cabal desires, e.g. the well, the Brassie expansion, etc., and foist loans on the Residents at a healthy interest rate, to pay back to these individual cabal lenders. Hmm – it certainly is a win-win for the cabal. The cabal comes up with an acquisition and indulgent expense, creates loans from cabal members for its acquisition funding, and places the loans with very nice interest returns on the Residents. The cabal reaps and secures what it wants, and has a payback of their loans with interest too.
The second matter concerns the election of five director positions this spring. Five of the seven director positions need to be filled; April 18, 2022 is the deadline for submitting an application to be a candidate. This situation is a huge opportunity for Aquarina’s Silent Majority to step forward and take control of the Board, and change the direction the community has suffered for the past several years, i.e. a selfish Board control where one social stratum is served, and the other social stratum is ignored. In other words, the care and oversight of the Whole Community, as opposed to the funding of the cabal’s entertainment and socializing. Both are parts of a healthy community, but there has been a selfish imbalance existing for far too long.
There needs to be five like-minded candidates for these five open positions. The opportunity for a positive and fresh approach to Aquarina is at hand for the taking. Are there any among the Silent Majority, who may coalesce together as a united force of change? Cabal members understand this dilemma for themselves, and certainly will rally to place five of their followers on these coming open positions. Will Aquarina’s Silent Majority speak?
